The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

meskes >me and I reported this as a bug) we have to worry about cron even more.

Yes. I immediately got a root shell. This works even on our Shell
Server!!!!!

I solved it by 

chmod u-s /usr/bin/crontab

Please please let us require all suid software to be released
with suidmanager or fix dpkg so that it does it by itsef !!!!

On the next upgrade I have to remember resetting that suid bit!
